Dr. Sam Munn

Veterinarian

Dr. Munn has been a practicing Veterinarian for over 20 years. His love of animals began with a boxer named Katie that belonged to his Aunt in England, twice a year they would go and visit and he would look forward to being reunited with his best friend. It was during this time as a child that he decided to become a veterinarian. Dr. Munn is a firm believer in treating all creatures with respect and kindness and is known for his compassion towards both patient and client. Dr. Munn also enjoys taking care of the little creatures-the rabbits, rats, hedgehogs, guinea pigs so often ignored. Dr. Munn has worked with many charitable organizations, helping dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and rats. Dr. Munn loves being a part of the Parkdale community and enjoys working with his wife Kirsti close to their home. In his free time Dr. Munn enjoys life with his 4 children, 3 dogs, 2 cats and 3 guinea pigs.

Dr. Judy DaCosta

Veterinarian

Dr. Judith (Judy) da Costa has always gravitated towards animals of all shapes and sizes. As a child she loved visiting anyone with pets. Dr. Judy would spend more time with the animals than the humans. When she was six years old, she found out that there was such a thing as an animal doctor and that proper word for this type of person was veterinarian. Dr. Judy immediately decided at this young age that she would pursue a career in veterinary medicine. Fortunately, she excelled in science and math, so it worked out. In 1998 Dr. Judy graduated from the University of Guelph with her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. She has worked in small animal medicine since then. To add to her knowledge, Dr. Judy completed her MSc in Epidemiology in 2021. Her thesis research involved veterinarian and client communication during the companion animal exam. She has published two scientific articles on this topic in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Although Dr. Judy has always owned cats (and one hamster), she will be adding a canine companion to the family soon. When she is not working Dr. Judy enjoys spending time with her husband and two sons, as well as boating, dancing and gardening.

Dr. Sarah Noftall

Veterinarian

Dr. Noftall is originally from New Brunswick and graduated from the Atlantic Veterinary College in 2019. They have been a practicing Small Animal Veterinarian in Ontario ever since. Dr. Noftall is a queer, neurodivergent animal lover dedicated to improving the health and wellness of our furry family members. Their special interests include all things dermatology and feline medicine. They are a proud cat dad to 3 (very) chaotic boys. In their free time, they enjoy crafting, playing soccer and watching Drag Race.

Kirsti

Office Manager

Kirsti Munn has had a lifelong love of animals that began in the Beaches with her grandparents two wonderful dogs and long walks with them on the boardwalk. Many years later while working in the film industry, she walked by Dr. Munn’s clinic and decided to walk in and answer a help-wanted sign. The fit was immediate and she soon was an irreplaceable part of the practice. Kirsti believes that the owner-pet match is very important and she has special interest in finding homes for rescues with the best possible fit. She is passionate about giving all creatures the best care possible and making sure the owners know what is happening and are able to make the best decisions for their pets. Kirsti loves being part of the vibrant and diverse Parkdale neighbourhood, connecting with the community, the cafe’s, clothing shops, and four-legged friends, everything that bring a city to life.

Michelle

Registered Veterinary Technician

Michelle graduated from the Seneca College Veterinary Technician program in 1998 and started working in a clinic right away. Even though she has always loved working with all animals she does have a special interest in the small exotic mammals. Over the years, her knowledge and love of animals has deepened into a profound respect for all life no matter how big or small. Michelle is glad to be back working with Dr. Munn again and is excited to continue her journey as a registered veterinary technician at Jameson Queen Animal Hospital. Michelle shares her home with 3 playful rat boys, a tortoise, canary and some tropical fish.

Geo

Registered Veterinary Technician

As four bunnies in scrubs masquerading as a human, Geo somehow managed to graduate from Ridgetown Campus for Veterinary Technology in 2015. From there they hopped directly into a job at an exotics clinic and haven’t looked back. Fear Free certified and passionate about quality low stress care for all animals, they are thrilled to have made the leap to the Jameson Queen team in March 2021 under the promise of more rabbit patients. Geo shares their life with their wife, and their (currently) five bunnies, three cats, and 50 plus houseplants. If not at the clinic they are probably in a garden watering, weeding and wandering. Or playing trombone, which is difficult when you are four obligate nasal breathers with cleft lips

Willow

Client Care Coordinator

Willow is a punk from BC who has turned a childhood obsession with cats into a lifelong passion for animal care. She has had the opportunity to love all manner of creatures, from Jersey cows, to three legged goats and malevolent turkeys, to the rambunctious cat she currently shares her home with. Narrowly escaping a stuffy career in academe after completing a BSc in Biology, Willow now finds refuge in the every day connection with other living things (this translates practically to picking up a lot of poop). Her hobbies include crochet, sustainable fashion, and ruining her hearing at live music because she never remembers earplugs.

Jen

Registered Veterinary Technician

From winters in the city to summers on the farm, Jen was never far from animals growing up. Cats to canaries to cattle: she loves them all. She values the importance of the human-animal bond and enjoys working with all life at either end of the leash.

Jen graduated from the University of Guelph, Ridgetown College with honours in 2008 and became a Registered Veterinary Technician shortly afterwards. She is Fear-Free certified and proud to be a part of the team at Jameson-Queen since Spring 2023.
